About this Item

Full leather binding. Married set, as faded spine labels are different color for each volume. Volume I has the front board detached and a crack along the spine, though the text block appears to holding well. Volume II is much more solidly bound. Scuffing to the covers on both volumes. All maps are present. Many are in remarkable condition. A few have some minor issues with awkward fold lines (most of these maps are larger folding) and a few closed tears or edge wear. Happy to check on condition of any specific map or provide more detail or pics for specific maps upon request. All in all, a nice set of a work usually much more worn and often incomplete in form or another. The map District of Maine, by Osgood Carleton, is the first separate map of Maine not part of a regional map. Joseph Purcell's map of the Southeast shows the "Country of Frankland", the only appearance of this designation known on a map (easily worth 2/3 the value of the set). Scarce example in this completeness and condition. Very SCARCE title to be found COMPLETE with all 10 maps! Not Ex-Lib. Seller Inventory # 100175
